Many who heard Pastor Duane’s sermon asked me to post the 17 things that he talked about on Wednesday night. 17 areas that may have caused us to lose our connection with God.
1) YOU ENTERED A RELATIONSHIP YOU HAD NO BUSINESS BEING IN DATING, FRIENDS.
2) SHIFTED A STANDARD THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SET IN STONE – COMPROMISING BACK UP ON INTEGRITY
3) PARTICIPATING IN CONVERSATIONS YOU KNEW DID NOT GLORY GOD
-TALKING ABOUT OTHERS BEHIND THEIR BACK
4) STOP SPENDING PERSONAL TIME WITH THE LORD
-BIBLE, PRAY, FAST
-FASTING KEEPS YOUR AXE SHARP
-WHERE DID IT FALL?
5) LAZY ABOUT ATTENDING CHURCH
-ONCE A MONTH
-WHEN WEATHERS BAD
6) CONVINCED YOURSELF YOUR SECRET WAS NOT HURTING ANYONE
-NOT A ROCK NOR AN ISLAND
7) WHEN YOU SAID NO TO SOMETHING SACRIFICIAL GOD ASKED YOU TO DO?
-1/10, OFFERING, BIBLE SCHOOL, FAST, WITNESS, MISSIONS TRIP
-CHURCH ATTENDANCE
STOP WALK BY FAITH, AND START WALKING BY SIGHT
9) GOT BITTER AND STAYED BITTER
-WON’T FORGIVE
-NOW – NO POWER IN YOUR LIFE
-UNFORGIVING HEART
10) MADE A BIG DECISION WITHOUT CONSULTING GOD
-ASK EVERYONE ELSE
11) STOP FIGHTING AN ADDICTION OR TEMPTATION
-SURRENDERED, GAVE IN
-I WILL ALWAYS BE LIKE THIS
12) TEENS – REBELLED AGAINST A GOD-GIVEN AUTHORITY
-NO DIVINE FAVOR WHEN IN REBELLION – PARENTS
13) YOU LOSE IT BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THE DEVILS LIE THAT THERE IS NO
GRACE (FORGIVENESS) FOR YOU
-GOD DID NOT LOVE YOU ANYMORE
14) LOST IT, TAKE GRACE FOR GRANTED
-CHEAP – SIN DOES NOT MATTER
-GRACE – THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE FROM THE INSIDE OUT
15) MADE SOME AMBITION AN IDOL
-SEEKING THINGS 1ST AND NOT GOD
16) SOME LOST IT – LIVING IN THE PAST
-PAST GLORY & VICTORY
